Detailed ways

The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly described below with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present application, but not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in this application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art fall within the scope of protection of this application.

The terms "first", "second", etc. in the description and claims of this application are used to distinguish similar objects and are not used to describe a specific order or sequence. It is to be understood that the figures so used are interchangeable under appropriate circumstances so that the embodiments of the present application can be practiced in orders other than those illustrated or described herein, and that "first," "second," etc. are distinguished Objects are usually of one type, and the number of objects is not limited. For example, the first object can be one or multiple. In addition, "and/or" in the description and claims indicates at least one of the connected objects, and the character "/" generally indicates that the related objects are in an "or" relationship.

The text selection method, text selection device, electronic device and readable storage medium provided by the embodiments of the present application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings through specific embodiments and application scenarios.

In some embodiments of the present application, a text selection method is provided. Figure 1 shows a flow chart of the text selection method according to the embodiment of the present application. As shown in Figure 1, the method includes:

Step 102, display the cursor and controls on the display interface;

Step 104, receive the first input to the control;

Step 106, in response to the first input, update the display position of the cursor;

Step 108: Select the target text corresponding to the display interface according to the display position of the cursor before and after updating.

In this embodiment of the present application, when electronic devices, such as mobile phones, tablets, etc., display text content, the user's selection input of the text content can be received. Among them, the text content includes web page text, local text, chat box text or input method text, etc. The selection input is used to trigger the cursor and control display on the text content. The specific input method of the selection input can be personalized by the user, such as Long press, double-click, two-finger slide, etc. on the text display interface. The embodiment of the present application does not limit the specific type of selected input.

After receiving the selection input, a cursor is displayed on the display interface. The cursor is specifically an identifier used to indicate a position for editing or selecting the text content. After receiving the selection input, the initial display position of the cursor can be related to the input position of the selection input. If the user performs selection input on a certain word, the initial display position of the cursor will be close to the word.

The control may be a circular, translucent virtual joystick. Figure 2 shows one of the interface schematic diagrams of a text selection method according to an embodiment of the present application. As shown in Figure 2, on the display interface 200 of the electronic device, there is displayed In the text content 202, after the user makes a selection input, the cursor 204 and the control 206 are displayed at the corresponding position of the selection input, and the display position of the control 206 is close to the cursor 204.

After the cursor and the control are displayed, the user can make the first input to the control by dragging the control, etc., so that the cursor starts to move from the initial display position through the first input to the control, and the movement direction is consistent with the first input corresponding to the direction.

In some implementations, the first input includes direction information and speed information. The moving direction of the cursor is determined based on the direction information, and the moving speed of the cursor is determined based on the speed information, thereby controlling the cursor to start moving. After the cursor starts moving, When the first input stop command is received, the display position of the cursor is updated based on the current position of the cursor at the time point when the stop command is received. Among them, the stop command of the first input can be a sub-input of the first input, for example For example, if the first input is a sliding input, the stop command is an input in which the user stops sliding the finger and raises the hand.

During the movement of the cursor, the movement path of the cursor will pass through the text. According to the movement path of the cursor, the target text can be selected. Specifically, in some embodiments, the movement path of the cursor passes through a line in the text. If the movement path of the cursor spans a certain line in the text, all the text in the line passed by the cursor will be selected, thereby effectively improving the text quality. Choose efficiency.

It can be understood that the selection method of the target text can be adjusted according to the actual needs of the user. The user can freely set the entire line that the cursor path passes through, or the single word that the cursor path passes through. This embodiment of the present application does not limit this.

In this process, the user only needs to operate the control with a single finger to complete the selection of a large section of content. There is no need for the user's finger to move across the screen significantly, and no need for both hands to operate, which can improve the operating experience of text editing and text selection.

Specifically, as shown in Figure 2, the control 206 may be a translucent circular control, with a dot 2062 displayed in the center of the circular control, and the user can control it by touching and "drag" the dot 2062. The cursor moves in the same way that dot 2062 is dragged.

For example, when the user "drags" the dot straight left, and the drag distance exceeds a certain threshold, the cursor moves left on the current line at a certain moving speed, and the user "drags" straight up. "dot, and the dragging distance exceeds a certain threshold, the cursor will move upward on the current column at a certain moving speed, and if the dot is "dragped" to the lower right, and the dragging distance exceeds a certain threshold, , the cursor moves columns to the right and rows down at a certain moving speed.

Among them, the movement speed of the cursor is related to the distance of the user dragging the dot.

During the movement of the cursor, the text on the path passed by the cursor will be selected simultaneously. For example, if the cursor's moving path passes through a character, or the cursor's moving path passes by the side of a character, the entire line of text on the line where the character is located will be selected. All lines are selected as target text, that is, all lines passed by the cursor path are selected, thereby effectively improving text selection efficiency.

If you move one column to the left on a row, a text will be selected to the left. If you move one row down, a row of text will be selected. The selected text will be displayed differently from other texts.

In the embodiment of the present application, when the electronic device displays text, the cursor and control display are triggered according to user input. The user moves the display position of the cursor by operating the control. During the movement of the cursor position, the corresponding Text, thereby providing precise control over text editing and text selection within a time limit. In the process, the user does not need to swipe across the screen significantly, and can operate the controls with one hand to select text, which improves the efficiency and experience of text editing and text selection.

In some embodiments of the present application, the cursor includes a first cursor and a second cursor, wherein the display colors of the first cursor and the second cursor are different; according to the display positions of the cursor before and after updating, the target corresponding to the display interface is selected. The text includes: determining the coordinates of the first input; determining the corresponding moving direction and moving speed based on the coordinates; updating the first display position of the first cursor and the second display position of the second cursor based on the moving direction and moving speed. At least one of; select and determine the target text according to the updated first display position and/or second display position.

In this embodiment of the present application, the cursor specifically includes a first cursor and a second cursor. In one implementation, the first cursor is used to locate the starting point of the selected text, and the second cursor is used to locate the end point of the selected text.

After the user moves the cursor position through the control, the target text is located in the text content and selected based on the first display position of the first cursor and the second display position of the second cursor. Specifically, the first cursor indicates the starting point of the target text, and the second cursor is used to indicate the end point of the target text.

Figure 3 shows the second schematic interface diagram of the text selection method according to the embodiment of the present application. As shown in Figure 3, text content 302 is displayed on the display interface 300 of the electronic device, and controls 304 and 304 are displayed on the text content 302. A cursor 306 and a second cursor 308, wherein the target text 310 is between the first cursor 306 and the second cursor 308.

The display color of the first cursor is different from that of the second cursor, thereby helping the user quickly identify the corresponding cursor. It can be understood that when moving the cursor, the user moves one of the first cursor and the second cursor in response to the first input of the control, and the display color of the moved cursor should be more prominent than that of the unmoved cursor. Take the user moving the second cursor through the control as an example. At this time, the first cursor can be displayed in white, and the second cursor can be displayed in yellow or red.

The first input is input to the control. Specifically, the user first touches the control. Taking the circular control shown in Figure 2 as an example, after the user touches the circular control, he moves his finger in the direction where he wants to move the cursor. After the user moves his finger , the dot in the center of the circular control moves with the position of the user's finger, where the position of the dot is the coordinate of the position where the user's finger stays, which is the coordinate of the first input.

According to the first input coordinates, the electronic device can determine the direction and distance of the user's finger sliding, thereby determining the moving direction and moving speed of the cursor, then updating the display position of the cursor, and selecting the corresponding target based on the moved display position. text.

It can be understood that the coordinate system corresponding to the first input coordinate is an xy rectangular coordinate system established with the center point of the control as the origin. The extension direction of the x-axis of this coordinate system is the extension direction of the straight line where the line of text content is located. , the extension direction of the y-axis of the coordinate system, that is, the extension direction of the straight line where the column of text content is located.

In some embodiments of the present application, determining the corresponding moving direction and moving speed based on the coordinates includes: determining the moving direction based on the coordinate values of the coordinates; and determining the moving speed based on the absolute values of the coordinate values.

In this embodiment of the present application, taking Figure 2 as an example, an xy rectangular coordinate system is established with the center point of the control 206 as the origin. Then the coordinates of the center point of the control, that is, the initial position of the dot 2062 is (0, 0). When the user drags the dot 2062 through the first input, the current position coordinates of the dot 2062 leaving the initial position, that is, the coordinates of the first input are (a, b), then the following relationship exists:

When a>0, the cursor moves to the right;

When a<0, the cursor moves to the left;

When b>0, the cursor moves upward;

When b<0, the cursor moves downward.

For example, if a>0 and b<0 are satisfied, the cursor moves to the lower right.

Further, the moving speed of the cursor is determined based on the absolute value of the coordinate value. Specifically, in the first input coordinates (a, b), the larger the absolute value Abs(a) of the coordinate value a is, the greater the distance the user's finger drags the dot along the x-axis, and the cursor is in the x-axis direction. The faster you move. The larger the absolute value Abs(b) of the coordinate value b is, the greater the distance the user drags the dot along the y-axis. If the value is larger, the cursor moves faster in the y-axis direction.

The moving direction and moving speed are determined based on the coordinate values, which requires a small amount of calculation and is conducive to achieving precise positioning.

In some embodiments of the present application, the moving direction includes a first direction and a second direction;

Determine the direction of movement based on the coordinates, including:

When the coordinate value of the coordinate is within the first coordinate value range, it is determined that the moving direction of the cursor is the first direction;

When the coordinate value of the coordinate is within the second coordinate value range, determine that the moving direction of the cursor is the second direction;

When the coordinate value of the coordinate is within the third coordinate value range, it is determined that the moving direction of the cursor includes at least one of the first direction and the second direction.

In the embodiment of this application, the movement direction includes the first direction and the second direction. For text that is normally arranged in a "horizontal, horizontal and vertical" manner, taking the xy rectangular coordinate system established based on the center point of the control as the origin as an example, x The extending direction of the axis is the first direction, and the extending direction of the y-axis is the second direction.

For text that is not arranged normally, the first direction is the direction of the "row" of the text, and the second direction is the direction of the "column" of the text.

Among them, it may be difficult for the user to accurately control the control. When the user wants the cursor to move only in the first direction (x-axis direction) or the second direction (y-axis direction), due to poor operation, the cursor may move in both directions at the same time. direction movement.

In order to prevent the above situation from occurring, this application divides the target area where the control is located into a first sub-area, a second sub-area and a third sub-area, where each sub-area corresponds to a coordinate value range. Specifically, the first sub-area The area range of the area corresponds to the situation that the coordinate value of the cursor is within the first range value, the area range of the second sub-area corresponds to the situation that the coordinate value of the cursor is within the second range value, and the area range of the third sub-area corresponds to The coordinate value of the cursor is within the third range of values.

To put it concretely, the target area is the area centered on the display position of the control. Figure 4 shows the third interface schematic diagram of the text selection method according to the embodiment of the present application. As shown in Figure 4, The area centered on the control 402 is the target area 404 .

The target area 404 includes a first sub-area 4042, a second sub-area 4044, and a third sub-area 4046, where the first sub-area 4042 is an area that shields y-axis movement, and the second sub-area 4044 is an area that shields x-axis movement. As shown in Figure 4, the first sub-area 4042 is the area close to the x-axis of the coordinate system. If the user drags the dot 4024 in the control 402 into the first sub-area 4042, the cursor will only move in the first direction, that is, Move in the x-axis direction.

As shown in Figure 4, the second sub-area 4044 is the area close to the y-axis of the coordinate system. If the user drags the dot 4024 into the second sub-area 4044, the cursor will only move in the second direction, that is, the y-axis direction. .

The third sub-region 4046 is an area located between the first sub-region 4042 and the second sub-region 4044. When the coordinates fall into the third sub-region 4046, that is, when the user drags the dot 4024 to the third sub-region 4046, The cursor moves freely according to the coordinate value of the first coordinate.

By dividing the area near the control, the embodiment of the present application helps the user control the cursor movement more accurately and improves the accuracy and controllability of text selection.

In some embodiments of the present application, moving at least one of the first display position of the first cursor and the second display position of the second cursor according to the movement direction and movement speed includes: before receiving a third response to the control. In the case of two inputs, one of the first display position and the second display position is updated according to the moving direction and moving speed; in the case of receiving the second input, the first display position is updated according to the moving direction and moving speed. and the other in the second display position.

In this embodiment of the present application, the cursor includes a first cursor and a second cursor, where the first cursor is the starting point of the target text, and the second cursor is the end point of the target text. When moving the display position of the cursor, what is actually moved is One of the first cursor and the second cursor.

In order to meet the different needs of different users, the second input can be performed by double-clicking or long-pressing the control, thereby switching the cursor that the control moves from the currently moved cursor to another.

For example, according to general user usage habits, when the user performs a first input on a control, the second cursor or the first second display position is moved by default.

Specifically, if the second input is not received, according to the default setting, according to the first input Enter the coordinates to move the display position of the second cursor. If the second input to the control is received, the second cursor that the control moves by default is switched to the first cursor. At this time, if the first input to the control is received again, the first cursor is moved according to the coordinates of the first input. Show location.

By switching the cursor moved by the control, the user can freely switch the way to select text, improving the user experience.

In some embodiments of the present application, the coordinate value of the coordinate includes an x-axis coordinate value and a y-axis coordinate value;

Determine the moving speed based on the absolute value of the coordinate value, including:

When the absolute value of the x-axis coordinate value is less than or equal to the first threshold, determine the moving speed of the cursor along the first direction as the first speed;

When the absolute value of the x-axis coordinate value is greater than the first threshold and less than or equal to the second threshold, determine the moving speed of the cursor along the first direction as the second speed;

When the absolute value of the x-axis coordinate value is greater than the second threshold, determine the moving speed of the cursor along the first direction as the third speed;

When the absolute value of the y-axis coordinate value is less than or equal to the first threshold, determine the moving speed of the cursor along the second direction as the first speed;

When the absolute value of the y-axis coordinate value is greater than the first threshold and less than or equal to the second threshold, determine the moving speed of the cursor along the second direction as the second speed;

When the absolute value of the y-axis coordinate value is greater than the second threshold, determine the moving speed of the cursor along the second direction as the third speed;

Wherein, the first speed is smaller than the second speed, and the second speed is smaller than the third speed.

In this embodiment of the present application, the moving speed of the cursor is set to three levels, namely the first speed, the second speed and the third speed, where the first speed is the slowest and the third speed is the fastest.

After obtaining the first input coordinate (a, b), where a is the x-axis coordinate value of the coordinate (a, b), and b is the y-axis coordinate value of the coordinate (a, b). The moving speed of the cursor in the first direction, that is, the x-axis direction is determined based on the absolute value of a, Abs(a), and the movement speed of the cursor in the second direction, that is, the y-axis is determined based on the absolute value of b, Abs(b). Movement speed in direction.

Specifically, the first threshold and the second threshold are pre-stored in the electronic device, where the first threshold and the second threshold are related to the display size of the control. Taking Figure 2 as an example, the control 206 is a translucent circular control, and the radius of the circular control is R, then the first threshold can be set to 1/3R, and the second threshold can be set to 2/3R.

When Abs(a)<1/3R, the moving speed of the cursor along the first direction is the first speed;

When 1/3R＜Abs(a)＜2/3R, the cursor’s moving speed along the first direction is the second speed;

When 2/3R<Abs(a), the moving speed of the cursor along the first direction is the third speed;

When Abs(b)<1/3R, the moving speed of the cursor in the second direction is the first speed;

When 1/3R＜Abs(b)＜2/3R, the moving speed of the cursor in the second direction is the second speed;

When 2/3R<Abs(b), the moving speed of the cursor in the second direction is the third speed.

By adjusting the speed of the cursor movement according to the distance the user drags the dot, it is conducive to precise control and positioning of the cursor position within the time limit.

In some embodiments of the present application, after displaying the control, the method further includes: receiving a third input to the control; and in response to the third input, selecting any one of the target text, the target line, or the target paragraph on the text content.

In this embodiment of the present application, if the user wishes to individually select a text, a line or a period of time, he or she can perform a third input on the control, where the third input can be quickly dragging a dot in the control and releasing it, such as to Quickly drag the dot left and release to select a word to the left of the cursor; quickly drag the dot downward and release to select the line where the cursor is located, etc., thus achieving more precise text selection.
